I was glad he got to see Alice do this! A week ago she just started swimming--no lessons, no instruction of any sort. I thought she was walking around on her hands in the pool and then I realized she was swimming around. She is like a fish now!

Jack loved this water explosion thing.

I love this picture. And this boy.

Our room had a view of the baseball field, but thankfully there wasn't a game. I think it would have felt like I was trying to sleep in oncoming traffic with those huge lights!

Jay left this morning before 6:00 and the kids and I spent a couple more hours in the pool. I made sure to tell them at 9:00 to be glad they didn't have to go back to school today!

We spent the afternoon at the zoo. We tried out the new Stingray Bay exhibit.

Alice wasn't really in to touching the animals, but she loved watching the sea lions.

We had a great trip, but we were hot and tired and ready to come home this evening!
